March 19,2013-Online marketing firm Tradus has started pre-booking of the latest smartphone in Samsung’s Galaxy line – the Galaxy S4 – in India.
Samsung had last week unveiled the Galaxy S4 in New York and declared its official roll out with 327 operators across 155 countries with the official release date being April 26.
“It becomes the first destination to launch pre-booking of S4, effective from March 18, 2013,” Tradus said in a release.
With the new Galaxy S4 smartphone, the company is increasing its rivalry with Apple. The phone boasts of a larger, sharper screen than its predecessor, the best-selling S3.
The Galaxy S4, which crams a 5-inch screen into body slightly smaller than the S III’s, will go sale in the US sometime between the end of April and the end of June.
In the last two years, Samsung has emerged as Apple’s main competitor in the high-end smartphone market. At the same time, it has sold enough inexpensive low-end phones to edge out Nokia Corp as the world’s largest maker of phones.
